Singers are a bunch of people who projects sounds in various ways using their voices and beautiful choice of words. Its actually an art. The ups and downs of their voices that impresses humans in this world. Songs and musics have become part of a homosapiens daily life in this world. So singers, for me, I don't specify them. As for me, as long as the songs are good and soothing to my ears ad soul, its more than enough for me.
Melodies most of the time and hip-hop sometimes, are my choices all the time. I don't chose singers to chose my songs that i like. For me, there's no such thing that only certain singers are qualifies to produce great songs as possibilities are there for them to even produce the worst song ever.
A song that is considered to be with high quality and hits the the most viewed list is a combination of good choice of words, the bits that are used in and the projection of the singer and also the way the singer delivers the songs. If any of these qualities lack, then it would be a choice for everyone.
In a nutshell, i personally don't have a favourite singer as i don't wish to be bias to just stick to one singer even though the songs are not satisfactory enough for me. Singers are equal to me.

Viva la vida? Yellow? The Scientist? Parachutes?

Do these words (lyrics) ring a bell?
For all those who are still puzzled, think no further, think of COLDPLAY!
One of the most successful English alternative rock bands formed in 1996, they have came a long way to ensure that their music is acknowledged by the whole wide world. Indeed, they have succeeded in doing so.
To be honest, i am not a fan of this particular band but i cannot deny the fact that one of their songs, "Viva la Vida" has managed to capture my attention.

The link that I have posted above will direct you to the music video of this particular song. This is just to ensure that you will be able to obtain a slight insight as to what the song is about.
Viva la Vida. I am sure we are all curious what it means? The English translation for this particular Spanish phrase means "Long Live Life"...
The lyrics and the meaning of this song is something worth looking at. There are a lot of debate that is surrounding this song as to what exactly it means...
Personally, i believe it has elements of Christianity and more how the king holds a power to be able to rule over a kingdom. Thus, i have to admit this is one very interesting song worth looking into.
Thus, i will end my post today by providing the lyrics of these songs and would like to gather more opinions from my blog readers as to what you think it means in actual fact.
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
‘Now the old king is dead!
Long live the king!’
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never,
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets that I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
‘Now the old king is dead!
Long live the king!’
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never,
never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
Repeat chorus

Chinese New Year = Flood + Food
In general, Chinese New Year is one of the most exciting and happiest times of the year especially for a multicultural country like MALAYSIA. During this holiday season, all Malaysian, especially those of Chinese origin, join in to visit one another and generally have a wonderful time together. The thing that i hate the most is most of the streets in town will be in a pin drop silent!! My mother celebrates all festival. Not that she buys new cloths for Hari Raya and Chinese New Year but she cooks a little bit more than usual. She loves doing that. But for me its a day for me to either sleep or stick myself in front of the Television.
This year, for me, its as usual but slightly different as God showered his blessings in a form of rain drops, but its kind off overwhelming i guess. He made our small, little, green but peaceful town go crazy. My town was flooded!!! So, most of them, as in those who escaped from being a victim, basically were lying under the comfy blankets as the weather seems to be so cozy. A hot chocolate drink will go really well. Heaven!!
But for the ones who were the victims of nature, they were going haywire as they were hectic saving their belongings. I was indirectly a victim too as my estate, the place that have experienced all my sorrows and my laughter together with me for twenty three years, was flooded n all the roads were ruined. Basically, no vehicle could be seen for a week. The nature's 'violence' had destroyed the beautiful path to my sweet home and i could not use the path to go to a Cyber Cafe to accomplish my mission on handing in my assignments on time. So hereby, i would like to convey my apologies. "I'm very sorry, my dear respected lecturer. I was bound by the situation."
Besides that, i could not feed my eyes with our Chinese New Year's theme colour, red, that lies in the streets and houses of all those who are Chinese. I love red. Its a glorious colour that has different interpretation if surveyed among each individuals. For me, its a colour that portrays quarter of myself.
The most important thing is Prosperity Burger!! I'm very sure everyone is aware of what I'm saying here. It only around during Chinese New Year and I'm very sad to say that i still have not taste it, even once, up to this very moment, since its out in the market!! Its very devastating, for me, actually. But, i love Chinese food. They are so delicious. Mouth watering!! It could make our taste buds go crazy and craving for more.
So, Chinese New Year for me this year is quite memorable. Although it was all not in a happy kind off mood, still i manage to smile in sorrows. However, i am grateful to the Almighty that there was no any physical harms to my family members and my friends and at the same time i hope things will get better to those who are in trouble. May the Dragon year turns out to be a prosperous one. Happy Chinese New Year.
